"Be A Happy Traveler"


                                          "Explore An Interesting Path Or Side Street"
 
Be a happy traveler and invite a fellow traveler for dinner at your favorite café' and if the two of you hit it off take tour of the local museum. Some experiences are best enjoyed with another person. If you go to Ireland, for example you might enjoy taking a bike ride around the southern part of the Emerald Isle to see the Ring of Kerry and the Cliffs of Mohr, having a fellow traveler along might provide that impetus to just go for it. You buy or rent some bikes in Dublin and head off into the biking trip of a lifetime, then share stories about in the local pub when it's over. Now how fun could that be?

 If you've stayed in apartment in Pairs, a bed and breakfast in Ireland, or a small lodge in Fort Williams, Scotland, show your appreciation to your host with a bouquet. If you really want to make it special, ask your host or hostess what their favorite colors and flowers are. Presenting a surprise bouquet to them upon your departure is bound to say more them expressions of gratitude. The language of flowers speaks directly to the heart. Expect smiles.

Don't forget before you book your adventure to buy a book that provides information about local customs so you won't risk facing a judge in a foreign land . When in doubt, always follow your in-country host's lead in terms of cultural behavior and local customs and you'll be fine. If you are a world traveler or on a tight budget enjoying a in door picnic in front a fireplace on a cold winter day with your sweetheart can be priceless . . . remember to stop and smell the roses while on your journey.
